How about smaller round table like discussions with one main speaker and topic per table, then rotate maybe say maximum of 25 to a table at a time, and let different speakers say 4 or 5 speak to each topic i.e 4 tables with seating for 25 on a certain subject, then allow a time limit at each table and rotate the people
you could say have one area on traffic, one on legal , one on state of the industry wetc..like now but diversify the speakers and allow for different points of view without making it a contraversy for a peaker to have a different take on a subject, therefore allowing them to speak more freely and not defensive.
the smaller groups will provide for interaction as well and allow for a think tank type of set up.
be sure to mix experience with in experience as well.
